The goal of the Introduction to Clinical Medicine (ICM) course is to provide students with opportunities to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes about the doctor/patient relationship that are necessary to practice patient-centered and evidence-based care. ICM focuses on active learning approaches including training in communication and interviewing skills through practice with simulated patients (SPs) in small group and in laboratory settings, small group discussion on behavioral topics, experiential learning in clinical settings, and self-directed learning.
